Duly Noted:

Can't wait to see what Martin Scorsese does with the forthcoming film about Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue (1975-1976), feat guests such as Allen Ginsberg, Mick Ronson, Joan Baez, Roger McGuinn, Ronee Blakley, and Ramblin' Jack Elliot. Really enjoyed what Scorsese did previously with Dylan's No Direction Home...
